We also had our girls rear dew claws removed when she went in for her spay at 6 months. I was warned by SO many people that it was a bad idea and her recovery time would be long. One was loose but the other was very much attached and bony.

I have absolutely no regrets. She recovered really quick, and the only issue we ran into was that she wouldn't keep the bandages on.

Sure it might be painful for her for a bit, but I'm sure it's worse tearing it as often as she had. Gives me serious shudders to think about.
